Sharon Johnston Park

Sharon Johnston Park is a county park located in north Madison County, Alabama near New Market, Alabama, about 20 minutes from downtown Huntsville, Alabama. The park project was originated and developed by former county commission chairman James Record and the Madison County Commission in the 1970s. The Commission along with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources entered into an agreement with the Johnston family, previous owners of the park property, to dedicate Sharon Johnston Memorial Park on June 4, 1979. The park is named in memory of Sharon Johnston, a pilot who died in 1974 at the age of 31 doing what she loved, aerobatic flying. The accident occurred September 8 at the South Weymouth (Massachusetts) Naval Air Station during an airshow that was open to the public. Her family donated the land to the community in her name because it was a place she loved dearly, where her father had built a lake, worked to conserve wildlife, and taught his children about the wonders of nature. The park consists of over 250 acres (1.0 km2) and features a 12-acre (49,000 m2) fishing lake, Olympic-size swimming pool, outdoor track, soccer fields, campground facilities, picnic shelters & pavilions, and open air barbecue grills. Fishing is allowed in the lake, which is stocked with catfish, bream, bass and crappie. Numerous events such as a children's fishing tournament and a civil war reenactment are held annually at the park. The Sharon Johnston Pool is operated each summer from the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend through early August. The pool is open daily offering swim lessons, public swimming and a full service concession stand. It is also host to the Sharon Johnston Swim Team, the Tornadoes - the name is aptly due to the partial destruction of the Sharon Johnston Pool by a tornado in 1997.

McCartney–Bone House
McCartney–Bone House

The McCartney–Bone House (also known as the Bone–Wilbourn House and McCartney–Bone–Wilbourn House) is a historic residence near Maysville in Madison County, Alabama. The house was built in 1826 by James McCartney, who came to Madison County in 1810. McCartney held several public offices in the county, including Justice of the Peace, Tax Assessor and Collector, and County Commissioner. He was also a member of the Flint River Navigation Company, which sought to improve transportation along the Flint River to the Tennessee River, making it easier to get goods from northeastern Madison County to market. McCartney died in 1831, and his wife, Martha, remarried twice, the second time to Reverend Matthew H. Bone. After Martha's death in 1885, the house remained in the family until 1955.The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, and is of the same high quality on all sides of the house. The house is two stories, with a gable roof and a chimney in each gable end. A central entry portico, added in the 1960s, is supported by two square columns with matching pilasters against the house. The door is topped with an elliptical fanlight. A pair of two-over-two sash windows flank the portico on either side. Second floor windows are also two-over-two, but are slightly smaller. All windows on the façade have recessed lintels filled with stucco. A denticulated cornice with ogee modillions is repeated on the rear of the house, an unusual feature for an early 19th-century country house. The main portion of the house has two rooms on either side of a central hall on both floors. The house originally had a detached kitchen; it was rebuilt in 1873 to be closer to the house and later joined. A shed roofed veranda on the rear has been enclosed to form a sun porch.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
